OLD SCHOOL #27 All American Red, White, and Blue Mixtape

Happy Fourth, happy birthday, sail away to a few American tunes! It’s a special Old School All American Red, White, and Blue Mixtape. The stories are all on the podcast, so push play. It’s a holiday.

Recommended for: long waits at the airport, backyard barbecues, setting off fireworks, flag waving, Constitution reading, taking the Fifth, drinking a Fifth, wishing for the Fifth, steering clear of the tainted potato salad, playing volleyball in the park, testing your waterproof earbuds, slipping on the Slip and Slide, and trying not to harsh the mellow of your dear old Uncle Sam.

These tunes for good times from all times. Audio fireworks!
